More than 1,000 Russian athletes were used in an "institutional conspiracy" with banned drugs at the Sochi and London Olympics and other global events, investigator Richard McLaren said on December 9, 2016. Russia's sports ministry again denied any state backing for doping. But the report said the campaign that started about 2011 came under official control from 2012 under then sports minister Vitaly Mutko amid fears that the cheating would be detected. / AFP PHOTO / POOL / ALEXEY DRUZHININALEXEY DRUZHININ/AFP/Getty Images
